CAUCASIAN. M Mti, VOL. XXVI. RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY. JUNE 11. 1908. No. 22 EDITORIAL BRIEFS. The Charlotte Convention .will show whether Simmon's whip has lost Its sting. Our Washington letter this week presents a most Interesting political situation, and it seems that no one ran tell what may happen at Chi cago. The Democrats of Virginia will hold their convention today and the outlook is that Virginia will send an uninstructed delegation to Den ver. Wonder if Mr. Craig has yet re pented of his folly in trying to have hief Justice Furches and Judge Douglas impeached for partisan reason. Karh on- of the Democratic can didates for the governorship say they are in the race to the finish. If so, then a dark horse will walk off with ;li 5 nomination. The Craig, Simmons, Aycock com bine is getting a little uneasy, and you may expect to see some of 1900 methods inaugurated at the Char lotto Convention. The Republican National conven tion will meet in Chicago June 16. On that day the rest of the popula tion will be apt to sit up and take notice. The Democrats are so excited over the race for the governorship that it is possible they will forget to name a State Chairman at the Charlotte Convention. The News and Observer says that the Republican platform will look in every direction. That is right; catch them going and coming. Bet ter do that than look up Salt river. A dispatch from Washington says that Mr. Bryan has invited Governor Glenn to make the speech seconding his nomination at Denver. Speech making is the Governor's long suit. If Mr. Craig is defeated for the Democratic nomination for Governor, he might later try for a place on the Supreme Court bench. It is said that about eight years ago he had high aspirations for such a position. Hoke Smith was defeated in his race for re-election c I :nvprnnr rT I l w I Georgia, and the News and Observer and Glenn thought it a calamity, but several of the Georgia papers ing in tnat state In his speech at Wadesboro last SatnrdavMr Crais lamented the fact 4 1 . ii 1, :l . w. ifYn ho me Suu uatuna. taua.u nao rown so Diner, auu saiu mat ioic- knowledge of such would have keut 1,. tv, ,-ir,c it ia nnt ton i.ii.i vv ii - " - I . . . .,. late yet ior Mr. craig to wunnraw, as tne campaign promises to get the convention at Charlotte will be just a little above the boiling point. Snme of the naDers think tbat a dark horse in the' person of Gen. Julian S. Carr, will be nominated by the Democratic Convention at Charlotte. The Democrats had a ..! , n-nroi iiuo uypuiiumij- t. "-xx Carr once by sending him to the Senate, but they turned him down for a machine politician. A Con federate soldier will not be nomi nated at Charlotte if the politicians can prevent it and they usually prevent it.

If the Republicans would nominate a ticket made up of men like Mr. Fries they can elect their ticket this fall. REMARKABLE SITUATION Much Interest is Centered in the National Convention. A DEMAND FOR ROOSEVFXT Many Republican Congrem-n are Waking Up to the Fact That They May lie Succeeded by Ieinorata if Any Mistake Is Made In the National Platform The Indepen dent Vote a Factor. Special to The Caucasian. Washington, D. C, June 9. There Is scarcely a Republican pol itician of any prominence left in the city. The Republican National Com mittee and the chief lieutenants of the administration and antl-admin-lstration forces are already In Chi cago watching each .other and plan ning by day and by night. It has been many a year since there has been so much interest centered in a National Convention, and this Is specially noticeable since it is gener ally admitted that the result is a foregone conclusion, hut still there is no denying that there Is an un dercurrent of belief or feeling that the result may be different from the so-called' foregone conclusion, and this is the explanation of this unus ual interest, watchfulness and ac tivity. As we have forecasted several times previously, there are a num ber of reasons, which have accum ulated as the days and weeks have mm gone Dy, wny nepuDiican success may be jeopardized if Roosevelt Is not drafted to serve his party and his country again As we have pointed out before, a number of astute politicians who are not in sympathy with Roosevelt's policies have for some time been fearing that if they were to succeed in the plan that they formulated about a year ago to capture the convention and repudiate, or at least practically ignore the admin istration that the party would be defeated Recently a number of congress men, at least forty or fifty, who are in close districts, have waked up to the fact that they may be succeeded by Democrats if the National con vention should wobble in the least as to the platform; and within the! last few davs many of them have I reached the conclusion that no plat form will save them except Roose velt himself. Even "Uncle Joe" Cannon has been thrown into a "brown study" over this situation. Besides, there has been a general awakening to the fact that many of Republican leaders, who have - been renuted to be wise in the nast. . . . . . . . are just u.kiuu.uk 10 reaiie mat they have gotten into the dangerous habit of belittling Bryan's strength and also have failed to estimate the large and independent vote, which mav sDell "a landslide." Quite a number of Democratic congressmen and politicians are still "ngering m town. Many 01 tnem L J ; .

Taking it all in all it is one of the most anomalous ana remarkable I . political situations in the history of AmencaQ Pontics. If It should be Taft and Bryant the result would be uncertain until the votes are counted. The onlv thine that would make the result a certainty would be the nomination of Roosevelt. And this fact has, within the last few days, caused a numDer of the largest and most potential industrial and finan- rial intprfists nf the nntrv Hirine-h ---- - -" " , 7 hostile to Roosevelt and his poli- cies, to conclude that, after all, it might be worse for them and the country if they were to succeed in their anti-Roosevelt program.
